Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ï has the Unicode code point U+00CF. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+00CF to binary:
11001111. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:

Description
The Unicode character U+00CF, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS (char 207), plays a significant role in digital text by representing the letter "İ" with a diaeresis mark. This character is commonly used in Turkish and other languages that utilize the Latin script with diacritical marks. The diaeresis above the 'i' serves to modify its pronunciation and distinguish it from a regular 'ı' or 'i' without the mark. In the linguistic context, this character contributes to the accurate representation of language-specific nuances, fostering effective communication in various cultural contexts. For instance, in Turkish, the letter "İ" with a diaeresis represents the sound "I" as in "eye", whereas without it, it represents the sound "ı" as in "light". The character belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (plane 0, range 128-255). This block is a versatile collection of characters that serve a variety of text formatting and typography purposes. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS falls under the Lu generalCategory, signifying that it is an uppercase letter in the Latin script. It has no mirrored equivalent, and its canonicalCombiningClass is 0, indicating that it can stand alone without being combined with other characters. In terms of technical context, the character's decompositionTypeAndMapping is 0049 0308, which means it is composed of U+0049 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I) and U+0308 (COMBINING DIAERESIS). Its simpleLowercaseMapping is 00EF, representing the lowercase equivalent. In summary, the Unicode character U+00CF serves an essential role in digital text representation by accurately depicting specific diacritical marks that modify pronunciation and enhance communication across different languages and cultures.
